Tonight we assembled and thought we had nothing to talk about… but apparently we were super wrong. As is usually the case with us when we think we have nothing… we wind up recording a two hour show. While it doesn’t weigh in quite that long this week, it still is a pretty lengthy discussion about stuff and things… and sometimes gaming. We apparently have an awful lot to say about Final Fantasy XIV and the fact that Stormblood brings no new tanks into the fold. We also talk a bit about how tank design seems to always fit within the same small box and how they might benefit from branching out a bit. After this bulk of the discussion we weave through a whole bunch of other topics.

We are back to normal… at least for a little while. This is the first traditional show we have recorded in three weeks and it felt a little odd to get back in the swing of things. Tonight we talk about Pax South and the games that Ashgar and Belghast played while there. We talk about our recent flare up of Final Fantasy XIV and getting back in the swing of things. Tam and Kodra talk about Samurai Souls… or Nioh on the PS4 and see how well Team Ninja did at the concept. Finally we talk a bit about Titanfall 2 and how it improves on the concept of the original.

Tonight we talk about the January AggroChat Game Club game Danganronpa. This game was Thalen's pick and we delve into what exactly we think of truth bullets and the sadistic bear. Of note like most of our Game Club shows there are massive spoilers. Also of note... we have massively mixed emotions about this title. However if you yourself are a huge fan, we would love to hear from you.

It is that time again. Time for the AggroChat crew to attempt to narrow down a list of games for our Games of the Year show. We have never actually been able to reach a consensus so instead we gather up a big ole list of games and talk about it each year as in a two part show. So six hosts… 3 picks per host… 18 games in total, or at least in theory that is the goal. This time around it seems to have mostly worked out as we have 9 games per episode.

During this second episode we visit our roman numeral friends talk about…

During this first episode we use up our quota of colons and talk about…

Tonight we talk about our general feelings about the Nintendo Switch and how for most of us it is not in the realm of the day one purchase. We talk about our track records with Nintendo Consoles in general as well. Belghast talks about the game formerly known as “Game 4” and now called Pit People from The Behmoth. Tam talks about Event[0] an alternate history game as told through the terminal screen of a Trash 80. Bel talks a bit about his experiences with the Wrath of the Machine raid and the Outbreak Prime quest. Finally we all get wrapped up in a sequence of discussions about MMO games… namely how they are bad at directing new players to new content. This then spawns a conversation about the trend of open world games also for some reason forcing open world pvp. Lastly we get into a discussion about our general desires for MMO housing systems.

Welcome to the beginning of AggroChat Season 4! This evening we are back to recording normal shows… and man does it feel weird. At first we thought we would be short a Kodra, but got an 11th hour message from him stating “I NEEDS TO PODCAST”. Of note he is on unfamiliar internets and a machine that he does not regularly record on… so the sound quality is a little iffy at times. Tonight we delve into a huge list of topics that hit all around the map of the things folks have been playing.

Tonight we wrap up season 3 of AggroChat with the November/December AggroChat Game Club Title Diablo 2. This pick was made by Grace and is largely an attempt at seeing just how well this game still holds up as compared to the titles we are used to. Join us as we talk about reconciling our memories of the game with the reality of playing it again. Additionally we get into a bunch of slantwise connected discussions during the process.

This week we are recording a bit of a special show in that we have a bunch of gaming stuff to talk about… but also Rogue One happened. So as a result we are dividing the show in essentially two parts. The first part we talk about a bunch of gaming topics, and in the second part we give an intermission of sorts to let folks know we are about to delve into a spoilery discussion of the new Star Wars film… Rogue One. For those really cautious our spoilery discussion begins around 56 minutes into the podcast.

On the non-spoiler side of the table we talk about The Dawning event in Destiny and how awesome the Sparrow Racing League is. This causes a brief offshoot conversation about how we actually grip our controllers. A few of the crew have been playing Hex the digital CCG that many of us backed eons ago in kickstarter so there is some discussion about its current state. Bel talks about the Warcraft community Icecrown Challenge charity event. Bel also talks about his experiences playing Let it Die the Darksoulsian Rogue-Like set in a Neo Tokyo setting. Finally wrapping up the pre Star Wars discussion is some talk about the 2nd edition of the 7th Sea Pen and Paper game.

Tonight we got a bit of late start, but once things got rolling we recorded a proper show. Last week we had pushed off the topic of Pokemon Sun and Moon because we literally ran out of time. We start recording around 9 pm CST and when it is past midnight… we know we are in trouble. So we talk a bit about the game and things that folks have noticed about it. Several of us are not terribly far along… others have beaten the game. Grace talks about her addiction to Justice Monsters Five and how no other games really matter at all.

Bel goes on a discussion about his feelings about various streaming options and why he is moving towards Beam. Bel talks about how this is the year that he stopped browsing steam, because there is just too much random stuff out there. This spawns a conversation about games that get lost in the mix… like Obsidian’s recent release of Tyranny. This oddly spawns another contorted shift as Bel talks about that he figures out why he doesn’t really enjoy Halo games. We shift gears and talk a bit about Final Fantasy XIV and the Alexander Turn 11 fight. Finally we wrap things up with some talk about the new Star Wars Destiny Collectible Card Game.
